if PAL frame mode -you'll be OK .. if NTSC frame mode ?? well if you have lots of camera/subject movement !!! IMO if you have NTSC camera shoot interlace !!!

there was a film that played at sundance and was released by Next Wave films & lot 47 called "SOME BODY " ... shot on 2 NTSC Xl1's in frame mode .. transferred to 35mm

i saw it at local theater
where ever there was action and /or camera movement there was lots of interlace artifacts. fast action was difficult to watch ... if subject wasn't moving it was fine ... over all i found it DIFFICULT to view as there was lots of camera/subject movement ...

i 've seen 60i transferred and have no problem viewing ...

if you want to see what NTSC frame mode will sort of look like ...
shoot a clip .. if you have Vegas set up project as 24fps and drop your 30fps frame mode on time line and vegas will play it back at 24fps - ( other NLE's should be able to do this) ...

Your the man! I was thinking about de-interlacing in AfterEffects, if need be.

The director for the project I am currently working on wasn't aware of all the preparation and questions prior to shooting in miniDV. I suggested that we shoot in 60i because of the option to film transfer. He agreed...
